Speaking of APC BackUPS, I have a 650 BackUPS Pro, with serial status reporting. How can I integrate the Smart portion into linux? I would love to know how to set it up so that when there's only a couple of minutes left of power, begin the shutdown sequence, and if power is restored, cancel the shutdown... I know there is software out there that does this, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! (GkrellM support for this would be awesome as well!!) Thanks.

There's cheaper UPS' than APC, but with those you'll probly endin spendin more than the initial savings down the road replacin batteries. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
